No sarcasm, was just wondering whether guys jumping up and down about not flying NVFR when there is smoke on the area forecast are applying the same sort of thought process to other types of flight.

My view about flying NVFR when smoke is on the forecast - use some common sense. You won't be flying anywhere night VFR in QLD for the next few months if you didn't go because there is smoke somewhere on the area forecast.

Not that you could legally apply it, but a while ago someone posted a link to satelitte shots of the fires around the place. This could be a starting point to build some situational awareness. I think it was called sentinel or something...
